Image by Getty / Futurism Mental Health "Go outside" or "touch grass" are common rejoinders deployed in online arguments these days. And, at least for those of us whose brains have probably melted from spending too much time on an app where said arguments take place, it turns out it's pretty sound advice. As the New York Times reports, there's a growing body of evidence suggesting that simply spending time in nature can instantly boost your algorithm-addled brain's attention span. It's part of

The Pixel 10 Pro has the display upgrade your poor eyes have been begging for

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-11 23:04:10

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro series introduces a new “sensitive eyes” setting that doubles its display PWM rate to 480Hz. The option is limited to the Pro models, with partial support on the Pro Fold, and none on the base Pixel 10. This is Google’s first significant step toward helping flicker-sensitive users, but it could go further. OLED screens are great for deep blacks and rich colors, but they also have a hidden flicker problem. It’s caused by PWM dimming, w

news.ycombinator.com Max Bernstein 2025-11-08 04:17:37

Much of the code and education that resulted in this post happened with Aaron Patterson. The fundamental problem in register allocation is to take an IR that uses a virtual registers (as many as you like) and rewrite it to use a finite amount of physical registers and stack space. This is an example of a code snippet using virtual registers: add R1, R2 -> R3 add R1, R3 -> R4 ret R4 And here is the same example after it has been passed through a register allocator (note that Rs changed to Ps)

These little robots are changing the way solar farms are built, saving time and money

cnbc.com Diana Olick 2025-11-12 18:31:33

The data for manual surveying is uploaded into the Civ software, then the operator chooses the area they want to mark and presses go. The robot does the rest, saving both time and money. "Our secret sauce and our core technology is actually in the navigation and the geospatial -- being able to literally mark coordinates within less than a quarter inch, which is very, very difficult in an uneven terrain, outdoor surfaces, and out in the desert," said Tom Yeshurun, CEO of Civ Robotics.
